Actress Ashley Judd was a huge supporter of President Barack Obama during his reelection campaign. Now she's
reportedly exploring options to take down one of his biggest
congressional adversaries.

Politico reports that Judd is looking into mounting a Democratic challenge to Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), citing discussions with sources
with knowledge of the situation. Dan Logsdon, chairman of the Kentucky
Democratic Party, told Politico that he'd heard the considerations were
"serious."

Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.), who optimistically weighed in on the initial round of speculation floated last month, similarly told Politico that he had heard Judd was "serious" about the potential move to
politics. Some sources, however, have suggested that she might wait
until 2016, when she could challenge freshman Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
